The Saison Poetry Library, Waterloo
The top floor of the Royal Festival Hall is filled with British poetry from 1912 to the present day. From obscure, hand-printed pamphlets to full collections by the finest poets, plus most literary magazines ever published. An exhibition space contains work by artists celebrating text and ranges from sound pieces and digital verse, to animation and ceramics. The library is a real treat for lovers of the written word. It's free to join, has a few tucked away study desks, and the reference section is worth dedicating some time to explore.
